Milbank offer a range of precast concrete sea defence and anti-flood solutions, providing bespoke specialist services to meet specific client needs.
Milbank Concrete Sea Walls are manufactured from reinforced precast concrete and protect against storm waves by reflecting wave energy. They are normally found in towns or harbours where there are lots of properties or special assets to protect. Storm waves can be very powerful, and defences do get damaged.
Milbank precast concrete revetments are used to support and protect the seaward slope of sea walls or embankments, along its length. The reinforced concrete units are designed specifically to absorb, more than reflect wave energy, and to protect the land from wave action. They are available in a range of configurations and can be adapted to suit individual requirements.
Most revetments allow water to pass, and in losing some of its energy, deposit materials rather than erode.
Milbank work closely with the Environment Agency to manufacture and supply Canewdon Blocks, which are often laid in grid formation at the toe of the sea wall.
